Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.
Seeding still works without port forwarding but uploading your owns torrents is not possible
You also can’t be the only seeder on a torrent for the same reason.
Good to know. I am on a private tracker that requires it so will test proton vpn. If they remove it then I guess I just leave the tracker. 🙁

Which one is that? Any I have seen just requires to seed with no mention of port forwarding.
Without port forwarding your tracker will show you as disconnected and not give you credit.
That’s not entirely true- you can upload your own, but you can only seed to users that do have port forwarding. On many trackers, that initial seed is all going to seed boxes with an autograb script enabled anyway, and those do have port forwarding.
